I think the position of the thieves-in-law (vory v zakone) is weaker than before, now there are the so-called "businessmen" like Sergei Mikhailov, Vladimir Tiurin, Anatoliy Bykov or Vladimir Kumarin who usually don't care about traditions and "honorific" titles (even though Tiurin is a thief-in-law).
The vors are often arrested for drugs possession, the police very often plant drugs in their pockets, while they are afraid to do so to the "businessmen" like Mikhailov and others.


Willie Marfeo to Henry Tameleo:

2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."
